You seems to be confused by the terminology here (which is not at all
surprising, wscons is such a maze...)

wsdisplay0 doesn't see "events" in the sense of struct wscons_event.
See wskbd_input() and sc->sc_translating (i.e. serving emul with
input).

With current code you can inject events into the mux for processes
that read from the mux (as your hexdump exepriment demonstrates),
e.g. you should be able to inject events for x server to read from the
mux, but you cannot inject "terminal input" for /dev/ttyE*

To feed terminal input from user space, you need a way to inject raw
scancodes that need to end up being passed to wskbd_input.
